Divine Imperfection

Divine Imperfection takes place in Ireland, inside a University Space Centre (a self-sufficient Biosphere) hidden in the Wicklow Mountains. One of the inmates is Dan Downs, a charismatic tutor with a violent past and a dark secret. He is a victim of ‘Kingdom Crashing’ a cruel bioterrorist experiment, that has left him with three months to live. He believes he has a powerful bond with a personal God, a Cosmic Soul, that will enable him to survive his condition. But he must obey his God’s commands.
Dan has been in love with Mary (a medical geneticist at the Biosphere) for eight years and finally plucks up the courage to declare his love. Upon discovering Dan’s secret, Mary lays down an ultimatum. There can be no future for them unless he accepts her medical intervention and cure. Dan objects to Mary’s interference and holds his faith in God. Mary leaves the Biosphere to work in Dublin, hoping to bring Dan to his senses.
Mary’s departure unleashes Dan’s savage, transgenic nature within the Community, to force her to return. There is no way Dan will ever let Mary go, for she is the only one who can fulfil his God’s commands. Mary is an atheist and a sceptic. All she wants is to cure Dan and sever his faith in his cruel ‘God’.
Dan, the man with a dark secret, has more to lose than his faith in God.
‘By turns erotic, disturbing, thought-provoking and laugh- out- loud funny, Divine Imperfection is an epic story of the clash between science and religion, cynicism and faith, fear and desire.’
‘Divine Imperfection is so fecund and inventive that it seems to stand in a category of its own.’ Tara Gladden, Reader for Cornerstones Literary Consultancy.’
